LOGLINE | SHORT SYNOPSIS

Amidst the daily din of the local trains in Calcutta, a lonely working woman in her late fifties finds herself falling in love with the voice of the railway announcer. Yours Truly  is a story about seeking connection and discovering how love can strike at any age- and in the most unexpected places.

YOURS TRULY — 01

As 57 year old government employee Mithi Kumar finds herself on the brink of retirement from her mundane office job, she realises there’s just one thing she’ll miss about work- or rather her daily commute. It’s the voice of a stranger that she has been irresistibly drawn to; one she has felt a deep connection with amidst the everyday din of the railway station. That voice belongs to the station announcer- her invisible but constant companion as she goes to work everyday.

Ever since the first time she heard his voice, she felt something stir in her- and over the last decade it began to feel as if he was speaking directly to her, as she began conjuring up her own images of him- even writing letters to him, sharing her deepest emotions with this stranger. As her days at work come to a close, Mithi searches anxiously for her imagined soulmate. Will she ever find him- and more importantly, is he for real? Yours Truly is a story about seeking connection and discovering how love can strike at any age- and in the most unexpected places.

LONG SYNOPSIS

YOURS TRULY — 03

Yours Truly is a poignant parable of unconventional love between two emotions, who constantly create new templates to remain connected in a world fashioned to obeying clichés and stereotypes as defined by society. How Mithi, no longer considered a suitable candidate to cultivate and express amorous feelings, shares her life with the idea of love – a potent which excites her. At times light-hearted and funny, it counter analyses the love story and family paradigm from the perspective of the non-confirmative marginalized yearning souls, in the process inspiring countless others.
